Todd Beckes

Todd made Cursillo #168 in April, 2000 at St. Patrick’s Cauley Auditorium in Erie, PA. The first Cursillo he had the privilege to work was Men’s Cursillo #218 where he served as a Warden. This is the Cursillo where “The Holy Spirit lit a fire in my heart & inspired me to pass the message of Christ’s love. I began to invite men & women to say ‘Yes’ to making a Cursillo and to lead them to this beautiful way of life.” He has since worked Men’s #225 (Chief Warden) and Men’s #234 (Assistant Rector.)

Todd says this about becoming part of the executive committee, “I wasn’t looking for a position on the executive committee. But when I was asked to serve, I could find no good reason to say no.”

“I love Cursillo because I get to witness so many people come together for the purpose of bringing the message of Christ’s love to their fellow man. When I think of Cursillo I think of St Paul’s letter where he writes, ‘there are different gifts but the same Spirit’. People serve the candidates in so many different ways but it’s for the same purpose. Because they have a genuine love for their fellow man. I’m privileged to be a part of such an awesome movement!”
